Guest Post for Sew Retro Rose

It was a huge pleasure and honour to write a guest post for one of my favourite bloggers, lovely and inspiring Beccie of Sew Retro Rose.

I surely can't compete with her sewing skills, but I was happy I could help her by writing about one of my passions: vintage costume jewelry from Doris's Jewellery Box.

There are (mostly will be) many more guest posts of some wonderful ladies, and if you don't know Beccie's blog by now, be sure to follow her. Her vintage style sewing ranges from the 1950s back into the 1930s.

Thank you Jessica! I always had a passion for jewelry, but not for brooches. I thought they were for old ladies. I'm older now, and much wiser. I deeply hope I can give my collection one day to my daughter, and that she will appreciate this items as much as I do. Keeping them is preserving a part of our history. (Another good excuse to buy them...)

I hope you have a wonderful midsummer weekend!Best wishes from sunny Switzerland!

About Me

This blog is like my grandma's box of buttons - mostly from earlier decades, some new ones. Being crafty ever since, I made all kind of crafts, but mostly sewing. Over the last few years, I became a vintage-fabric-and-pattern-addict.

I'm living in Switzerland, in a small village, with my Italian husband and two marvellous kids in a small house with a big garden, growing more than 100 roses.
